Probably 95% of the engines used are DA50, ZDZ-50, G62. None of these need a special nut. Of th eother engines, each is different so including a spinner nut is not practical.

What engine are you using? Your list says G62. I have a prop bolt for mine that's threaded down the center for an 8-32 screw. IF yours is like this then just use an 8-32 screw from the hardware store. If not, a local hobby shop should have that internally threaded bolt.

i am using a G-62 . The bolt is a regular bolt with no threading down the middle. There are no hobby shops where i live.

I got the dave brown spinner from WH also. I'm using a DA50. Included allen head bolt is to short to reach the DA50. I had purchased a True Turn spinner for my AW Katana and the included bolt was long enough to reach the DA50.

Called WH and they recommended I go to the hardware store get the correct length bolt, the head diameter will probably need to be ground down to fit inside the spinner.

Don't think to much of this. A bolt can always be cut to length, but not extended. Now I have to go out and find/purchase the correct length bolt.

Also just making a note, the True Turn spinner back plate was lightended, and the Dave Brown spinner was not. There is a noticeble difference in weight.

thx for the link. was thinking about it some, im just going to drill into the bolt, and tap the threads.
thx for the help all

RE: Dave Brown Vortex Spinner
 

You do have to consider the price difference though. Tru Turn is about twice the cost of a Dave Brown.

RE: Dave Brown Vortex Spinner
 

Vorrtecs dont come with a bolt even if you buy it from the LHS.
Drill it out and tap it. Its been done for years.

Is there someone who knows what's the Adapter nut part number for Dave Brown 3.5'' spinner on the DA-50?

RE: Dave Brown Vortex Spinner
 

There doesn't need to be an adapter nut. The hole in the center of the shaft is 5mm. You need to find a 5mm cap head screw the length you need and use that. No adapter nut needed....

RE: Dave Brown Vortex Spinner
 

Thanks
i am gonna find a 5mm screw to my local hardware store.

RE: Dave Brown Vortex Spinner
 

I was in the same prediciment. I found a bike shop that had just what I needed. The four bolts were $8 and shipping was $7. I'll post the link if you want to spend that much.

RE: Dave Brown Vortex Spinner
 

It's 10-32, which is identical to 5mm. Any hardware store (even home depot which is the worst for screws) will have it.

Yea, I have to admit this is a pain in the butt. I bought the Edge, DA 50, Spinner, and Hardware package and Wild Hare doesn't include the appropraite bolt to put everything together. Tom, I'm sorry, this is a Bad on you kinda thing. I live in a remote area and it's a pain to go to the hardware store.

I am mearly suggesting that when a person buys all thee components from you that you might consider including this bolt. Otherwise I am very happy with things thus far.
